Labor Day Weekend 2019 we were both on a trip with friends to Denver. Chris was on a trip with his college friend Jake, who is Alyssa's friend from high school. Our two groups met up and spent the day together at a festival. Fast forward to Fall 2020, Jake finally set us up and our first date was at Sassafras in Old City. First date led to 3 more dates within the next week. About a month in we planned a weekend trip to San Diego to visit friends. Within the first year there were many more trips, moving into our first home, and countless memories together. When visiting Nantucket in June 2022, Chris proposed on the beach at Sunset.
